SECRETS FOR A FRESH AND BEAUTIFUL SKIN

The beauty of the skin reflects what goes on the inside and outside i.e. what you eat and what you apply on. There are different skin types, so what works for A may not work for B.

If you have an oily skin, I advice you use more of creams than lotions (more oily). If your skin tends to be dry, lotion will do you good. Due to the variety of skin types these two extremes should as a guide to choosing what to apply. Do yourself a favour by discovering your skin and selecting the right type of cosmetic.

The health of the skin is complemented by a healthy feeding from inside out. This is where the glow comes from without much make up. Vitamin E is the main ingredient that makes the skin glow. It can be gotten at Pharmacies but nature also has an abundant combination of natural ingredients that makes the skin wow.

Avocado pear, cabbage, tomatoes, evening primerose, apples, onions and carrot are the Nature’s cosmetic for a great skin. Sincerely since I added these to my diet it’s been different. My skin, hair and nails are much better. Avocado pear could be eaten and the oil can be extracted by boiling the over-ripe fruit whole, then lift the oil from the water with a spoon. This is then applied on the skin all over for about 30 minutes, then wash off. Cabbage should be eaten and whenever there is any skin cut, the green leaf can be warmed by wrapping in a paper and pressed with a pressing iron then applied to the skin. Tomatoes should be eaten raw but I couldn’t eat it so I resolved to applying minimal heat. I make sauce using mildly blended tomatoes and pepper, a lot of onions and smoked fish. Evening primrose, I think is more of a European plant but it has its capsule/ gel form for swallowing. Some people add it to their cream (by separating a quantity for about 3 days) while some use it like a drug. It works well in both ways. It can also be used like the avocado oil. Apples, carrot and onions should be eaten. Onion is best eaten raw or mildly boiled.

African pear, some call it ube others Eben is also great for the skin when eaten and contains good nutrients.

The soap used to bath also contributes to skin glow. I have a combination technique for this; if you must use an antiseptic or medicated soap, then it should be a after a stressful day otherwise get yourself a good toilet soap with vitamin E or other natural extracts to enhance your skin glow.
